Lucy Yardley {{post-nominals|country=GBR|BSc|MSc|PhD|CPsychol|FBPsS}} (born 2 February 1961) is a British psychologist and professor of health psychology based at both the University of Bristol (since 2018) and University of Southampton (since 1999). She is an NIHR senior investigator and has a continuing role at the University of Southampton as Director of the LifeGuide Research Programme).[1], and the Behavioural Science theme of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre [2].

Early life and education

Yardley studied psychology for her BSc at the University of Southampton, and during her undergraduate days formed links with the local community which resulted in her decision to stay in the area to progress her further training. A desire to help people led her to the field of audiology, and she was awarded an MRC studentship to pursue an MSc in the then-emerging field of audiological science, again at the University of Southampton. After completing her MSc in 1986, she worked as an audiologist at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research and then at the Royal South Hants Hospital. Fitting hearing aids and carrying out hearing tests over a period of 18 months gave her valuable first-hand experience of practising as a healthcare professional. Lucy then took up an appointment as a research demonstrator in the Department of Psychology at the University of Southampton, which gave her the opportunity to begin a PhD at the interface of audiology and psychology. Her research involved looking at psycho-physiological aspects of vestibular function and dysfunction. During her studies she also lectured at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, but subsequently was invited to take up a non-clinical research position in the MRC Human Movement and Balance Unit at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London (now part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) where she completed her PhD and embarked on her career as an academic psychologist, specialising in psychological aspects of vestibular (dys)function. Her first academic post was a lectureship at UCL – still commuting from her home in Southampton [3]. She then became a senior lecturer in Psychology as Applied to Medicine at UCL, before returning to the University of Southampton as a reader and then professor of health psychology [4]). She also held a professorship at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care and Health Sciences, University of Oxford [5]. Lucy now divides her time between her position at the University of Southampton and as professor of health psychology in the School of Psychological Science at the University of Bristol [6]) [7].

Research and career

Yardley has an international reputation for developing and trialling health behaviour change and self-management interventions (especially digital interventions), as well as for mixed methods and qualitative research in psychology[8]. Her principal research focus is on using the internet to support self-management of health. In 2008 she pioneered the ESRC-funded development of the unique ‘LifeGuide’ open source software for developing web-based interventions, and subsequently led the EPSRC-funded ‘UBhave’ programme to develop software for creating interventions for mobile phones (the ‘LifeGuide Toolbox’)[9]. Her current research programme addresses how to maximise engagement with digital interventions, using the ‘person-based approach’ to intervention development (developed and disseminated by her research group) and how best to integrate digital support for self-management of health with existing health promotion and healthcare services. [10].

Yardley has led MSc and PhD programmes in Health Psychology, served as Head of the School of Psychology for 3 years, and supervised over 20 PhD students. Her professional roles have included editor-in chief of Psychology and Health (official journal of the European Health Psychology Society), associate editor for the British Journal of Health Psychology and consulting editor for the journals Social Theory and Health, and Health [11]. She has also been a core member of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence public health committee (2013 to 2016), topic expert member for other NICE committees, and a member of research funding panels for the NIHR, the MRC and medical charities.

Awards and recognition

She was awarded the title of Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences in 2010[12], and in 2018 she was elected as a Fellow of the British Psychological Society[13]. She has numerous highly cited publications and has won major funding awards as principal investigator and co-investigator across various funding bodies (ESRC, EPSRC, NIHR, MRC, ESRC, EC, HTA, Wellcome Trust, other medical charities) [14].
